Help - i am falling apart!

[cathandbaby]

After i had my baby i had terible PND and had to be referred to the local Crisis Team. It has been a long slow process but i got better and am now back in work.

But now i'm going through a terrible time. I'm just SO down and cant pull myself back out of it. I didnt come into work on Monday becasue i simply couldnt face it. Cant be bothered with anything and its getting to the stage where i just dont want anyone to talk to me. My boss just made a stupid comment that was a bit off hand and i now feel like bursting into tears.

I feel like i need some time to get myself together again. I really REALLY dont want to have to do it but i think i might have to go to the doctors and get signed off work for a while. Otherwise i might end up doing something stupid whilst i am here and i love the job and dont want to lose it

But then everyone will know that i'm off becasue of depression and will think differently of me.

I just cant cope anymore - what should i do?

Hi Hun,

First of all I want to send you some xx

I think maybe you do need to go back to your Dr`s, are you on any meds? If you are maybe they can be tweeked a little. Hun, YOUR health is the most important thing, so if they sign you off for a little while, you can get yourself better and then go back to the job you really love when you are at 100%.

I am off work with depression and anxiety too, and I know what you mean by thinking, everyone will think about you differently. It is hard, but as i have found out your real friends, where you work, won`t treat you any differently than they have ever done and will want to support you.

xx
